Some Left Hand Milk stout is accompanying this post, so forgive me if anything seems disorganized, because that is NOT who I am. BackgroundWedding is April 2018, so right now we are trying to lock down all vendors etc, and trying to get the STDs out. In our area vendors fill up more than a year out so we are pushing it for major vendors. I am an extremely Type A person. Bought a planner the week I got engaged (Sept 2016), timelines galore, and we are behind. On top of that, we are butting heads with FH's parents on rehearsal dinner, and I am trying to plan my own bachelorette party (ugh) along with giving input, pics, and ideas to my bridal shower. It's a lot and along with working full time, competing in a sport, and trying to stay sane with down time I have reached my breaking point. My question is what do you all do when you reach a breaking point? I also have several issues to bullet below and maybe some input with those would help? I just need to rant and y'all are so helpful and supportive I really don't know where to go.IssuesWe are working on a logistical nightmare of providing transportation to our guests to and from the venue to the wedding block, what the companies can offer, and not paying for a driver to sit there for 5 hours. We really want to get an idea or lock that down this week before STDs get sent out. I can provide more detail if anyone loves logistics.I am planning FH's bachelor party because 1. his best man is not my favorite person ( I can go in to detail for clarity or any drama llamas that need to be fed) and 2. the best man didn't even know FH wasn't planning it. So that's ongoing. I also have a better idea of our weekend schedule and when my FH has to watch animals. They want to do it by the end of October so ASAP.I am essentially planning my own bachelorette party. My sister is MOH, but the times I've brought it up to her she mentions she'll be drunk at the wedding (jokingly, but still). I am having the bachelorette the same day as my bridal shower brunch so people who are traveling don't have to travel 2x excluding the wedding. I want to do a paint and wine thing but those need to be reserved in advance with people invited. My bridal shower is already booked for October.My FH's parents are still in the stone age, so that means my family (me and my mom mostly) are going to planning it. Yet another thing on the planning checklist. I'm very salty that things that should be "traditionally" delegated cannot be delegated and that they fall on me. I'm also slightly salty that while I love being the planner and "in control" so to speak, when I ask others if they're willing to take over tasks, they forget, fall through, or panic and ask for help.I just need to get through the next month with out having a wedding related breakdown. And that includes my friend's shit show of a wedding I still need to help organize (for FH and I in Sept and next month).I need to pray to the wedding gods or something. via /r/weddingplanning http://ift.tt/2tQ7PMg
